Problem w/ built-in 'source' command in bash (version 3.2.9(11)-release

[Craig Steury <craigrsteury at yahoo dot com>]

Hello,

I am having problems with 'source' (ie the built-in bash command) in version 3.2.9(11).  My intent
is to use this mechanism to setup the appropriate environment in the current bash-shell.  If I
source a test file containing nothing but 'ls'    

I get the following output:  source dsg-tst
   : command not found

What I've tried:
1. comment out all code in .bash_profile and .bashrc start a new shell, same problem with 'source'
2. Copied an older version of batch 3.1.17(6) into /usr/bin for 3.2.9(11) installation - this
works, as well as more elaborate files with environment variables, etc.
3. Just for grins I also tried: 'source dsg-tst' using zsh shell.  This works, as does the more
elaborate environment file.

I am mystified - has anyone seen this or have a suggestion?

Thanks,

Craig Steury
